the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economic wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto
wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.

possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun:

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct
amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated
amount does not result in a more effective wash and
increases environmental pollution.
Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be
adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid
detergent.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately
either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent).
If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box.
For further questions please ask the detergent producers'
Advice Offices.
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device "A".
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser "B" only.
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.
1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash
cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises
a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder
detergent that can be added to each cycle.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until
the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the wash cycle.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing
and drying results are always achieved.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models which
offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing and drying
cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should
be used.
